We had our first snowfall for the year. It began around 12:30 pm on Saturday and continued lightly throughout the night. The accumulation wasn’t significant – only about 5-6 inches but everything is covered in white and glistening. It’s so beautiful!

I drove home yesterday after my grandsons’ concert and it was just beginning to get a little slick. I love the snow as long as I don’t have to drive in it!

When I woke up this morning I snapped a few photos from my windows before it began to melt off the trees.

Here are a few new photos of my decorations. I have two new additions to my carols’ collections – Mr. & Mrs. Santa. They were early Christmas presents from my husband. I was thrilled to add them! God bless him! He is so thoughtful!

Here is my Christmas cactus that is flowering in preparation for Christmas!

I feel the excitement in the air when I see my grandchildren especially the youngest ones – four and eight years old! They truly believe in Santa, The Elf on the Shelf, and everything that goes with this magical season. To be a child again is to experience great joy in every day without any care or worries. Sigh!

Thank you for stopping by and God bless everyone! May you have a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday you will be celebrating.

Lovely photos. We had our first snow this weekend but not as much as you. It’s been freezing hard since then. I like your Christmas Cactus. Mine had one bloom a couple of weeks ago. I think it has decided it’s reall an Easter Cactus!

We had barely a dusting here, Janice, but we drove back from Charlottesville yesterday (my husband had back surgery there) and the trip was magical. Everything was coated and the sky was clearing in time for some wonderful light and colors with the snow. I see you collect carolers, too. I get a new one every year. Lovely pictures!

How is your husband doing? I pray that he is is okay. 🤗 ❤️ Thanks for stopping by.
I received a request from you on FB messenger. Did you contact me? I think it is a scam. Someone may have used your name to email me.

I am so envious of your snow. Our snowfall here fell short of the forecasted amount. We only got about a half inch. I just want one (okay, more than one) honest to goodness real snow.
Your decorations are lovely! Love and hugs. ❤🎄🎅❤

I love snow! We got some this weekend too. Actually, it’s snowing now. We got a light dusting on Saturday, which didn’t really come to much – probably too much salt water on everything from recent storms coming in off the sea. But today it’s snowing for real. There’s nearly an inch of it by now, and it’s still coming down. That’s hardly anything compared to your five or six inches, but snow isn’t as common here, especially not as close to the coast as I live. This is our Westie pup, Lilie’s first time seeing snow. She wasn’t interested with the tiny bit we got on Saturday, but is more interested now we’ve got more, and has even snacked on part of a snowball. Haha!

Janice, beautiful pictures of the winter wonderland…it is magical and the UK is experiencing heavy snowfall with roads treacherous and schools closed. Yet a wonderful sight! Wow! Your cactus is stunning, full of flowers and on time! What a great idea and I meant to say thank you for those as well as the book which arrived today…I’ve sent you an email. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas. Xx

Beautiful post Janice. It seems many are getting bombarded with snow this past week or so. We got our first wallop today! I bet you wish you were back in Aruba? LOL. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas my friend. 🙂 ❤
